Subject: Why is Parallel Query Running after upgrading to 8.1.7.2

I have just upgraded my 8.0.4 database to 8.1.7.2.

Previously, parallel query would only run on objects that a DEGREE set > 1.
I just checked and all of my tables and indexes have DEGREE set to 1.

So are most of my queries now running in parallel?   I just checked my
init.ora file and I haven't added any new parameters or changed any
existing ones.

I'm going to go research some more on Metalink and in the on-line manuals.
However, if anyone could give me a quick run-down in what's changed in
parallel query in 8.1.7.2, I'd appreciate it.   We are making the initial
decision whether or not to go with this upgrade in a couple of hours, so
I'd like to figure this out by then.

Thanks,
